I learned this trick to shelling an egg from a shepherd in Kyrgyzstan.

Tap 1

Tap the first side against a hard surface to make a small crack.

Peel 1

Peel a few fragments off the end to make a round opening.

Tap 2

Place your lips around one hole and blow. The egg should pop right out leaving the shell behind.
